Claim Breakdown:
📝 Fact Check: Transdermal delivery (absorbing through the skin) of large, water-soluble molecules like glutathione is biologically extremely difficult. The skin's primary job is to act as a protective barrier (via the stratum corneum). Without highly specialized, clinically proven carrier systems, it is highly unlikely that over-the-counter wellness patches can significantly increase glutathione levels in the human bloodstream. 🛑 Currently, there are no robust, peer-reviewed human trials supporting these specific OTC patches as an effective systemic delivery method comparable to intravenous (IV) drips.
